Wordpress Lets You Do That?

The below text is a definition from Wikipedia:

“A TrackBack is a mechanism used for communication between blogs: if a blogger writes a new entry commenting on, or referring to, an entry found at another blog, and both blogging tools support the TrackBack protocol, then the commenting blogger can notify the other blog with a “TrackBack Ping”; the receiving blog will typically display summaries of, and links to, all the commenting entries below the original entry. This allows for conversations spanning several blogs that readers can easily follow.”

The main use of a Track Back is to utilise it for posting comments on other peoples blogs, and also for promoting your own articles. If there is related content between blogs, it helps distribution of participating bloggers content.

How To Enable Track Back:

1. Login to your WordPress Admin Panel and navigate to the Options -> discussion section.
2. Check the option to Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)
3. Click Update Options

How to Trackback:

Using Trackbacks in WordPress is pretty easy to use. When writing a post, simply copy the permalink of the post you want to trackback to into the trackback section. Also, you can just link to a permalink within the content of your posts and a trackback will be achieved.

Another little hidden gem that may just give you that little bit more of an advantage.
